Korean Sights

Korea was really cold, zero in the day time, negative at night. We had to rug Alice up a lot. It's kind of fun to dress for the cold, it seems more functional than other dressing.




This truck never seemed to go anywhere or sell anything. At least, we never saw the owner the few times we passed it.

A weird strawberry headed figure. We found it in a courtyard in Insadong street.

More stuck together fruit heads.

Koreans take their national treasures seriously. Look at the size of this pagoda shelter. From Tapgol park.

I took a picture of this inscription because I can almost read it. It says, big small people something down horse something. Loosely translated it means whether you are of high birth or low, please get off your horse in respect of this place.

Christmas decorations were out in force in the streets of Seoul, probably because there are many more Christians in Korea than in Japan. These singers have grass growing all over them, and more cabbages. I'm starting to appreciate the cabbages, although, as in the grocery department, there are only red and white kinds.

Here is the Post Tower. It looks like a big zip, complete with zipper.

I don't know what this building has inside it but the outside looks like a green Pacman. The sun wasn't where I would have liked it to be in this picture.

I was quite happy to guess the purpose of these raised spikes on telegraph poles. They're to prevent the posting of bills.
